TODAY THERE'S JOY IN MUDVILLE!

  No, this is not a baseball story. I wanted all
of you to know June 29th is International Mud
Day! It's true. It was started in the country of
Napal in 2009! Children in a local orphanage
seemed more and more depressed with their
limited play abilities. Someone suggested
they all be allowed to go outside and literally
play in the mud! The results were outstanding
and immediate. The hands, arms, legs, and
faces may have been covered in mud but
the broad smiles were unmistakable. The
outing became a regular event and the event
became, eventually, an international holiday.
Of course the very basic effort is just to get
kids away from televisions and other
electronic distractions to play outside. It's
simple to use mud! And, if you haven't got
any, just mix some dirt and water and you're
in business. Of course adults are encouraged
to play along so, go to it! Here's mud in your
eye and I hope all your NEWS is good!
